As far as a pace allrounder, hate to say it but soumya is the best option for BD in that department atm.

Shanto and Anamul were Abahani openers for this years DPL. He became top scorer by opening the batting. Opening the innings definitely suits him.

There is no way Sarkar can be considered an all-rounder. He can't even bat anymore. Shakib just prefers giving the ball to Sarkar over Ariful due to his favouritism and only due to that he got selected. I would put Abu Hider as a better all-rounder than Sarkar.
